The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe as its meant to be heard, narrated by Ben Hynes. Robinson Crusoe is often described as the first English novel. The book followed the great success of The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, which has become one of the most widely-published books in history.
The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is the second novel written by Daniel Defoe featuring the now well-known character. Unknown to him, even greater adventures lie ahead on this fateful voyage, as Crusoe voyages to exotic locales in Africa, Southeast Asia, China, and Siberia. But, with echoes of his old adventures sounding in his head, Crusoe feels drawn back to his island, and when his nephew offers to take him on board his trading vessel, Crusoe cannot refuse the opportunity to return to the seas.
